RE: William Riley ShepherdI will revisit this location again, soon. The cemetery has recently undergone some restoration, so I will see if there is a readable stone. In the past, a good majority of the markers in the Arnett cemetery were unreadable, broken, or missing.

RE: Roark Cemetery- Ashe Co., NCThe coordinates posted are the correct coordinates for the Roark Cemetery which I visited and photographed off Rock Creek Road. I believe the problem is that this "Roark Cemetery" contains the listing form both the Roark Cemetery off Rock Creek Rd which I visited and the Roark Cemetery (aka Jesse Roark Cemetery) which you have visited and photographed. If you agree, I think we need to figure out the best way to create another Roark Cemetery on F-A-G and get memorials moved as need as well as get the cemetery page photos divided up. Given that the Roark Cemetery already has an address and a map, I would think it would be easier to create another one named Jesse Roark Cemetery and move memorials there. However, if you prefer to do the opposite, I am OK with that too. My only interest is in getting it all sorted out. Would you share the coordinates for the Jesse Roark Cemetery with me as well as what road it is near?Many thanks!

Roark Cemetery- Ashe Co., NCI am concerned that this cemetery is actually 2 different Roark Cemeteries mixed together. I went to the location on the map for the cemetery which is at the back of a farm high on a hill on the edge of the woods. My photos show a different fence-not a chain link. Would you mind taking a close look at your cemetery photo and mine and then letting me know exactly where you were when you took your photos? I am further puzzled by the fact that I attempted to photograph all of the memorials in the cemetery but do not think I saw many of the ones you have photographs of. Just trying to straighten it out if it needs it. Thank you in advance for responding with your thoughts.

RoarkI am trying to prove the connection between William Roark b1823 who married Martha Patsy to Charles And Lettie Roark and John And Jane Pope. I believe William is the son of Charles and Lettie Roark and Martha Patsy is the daughter of John and Jane Roark Pope. My husband is a direct descendant and I have proven his line back to William and Martha Patsy.
